> AI code autocompletion during refactoring is 1000x faster than plumbing fields manually. I can do extremely complicated and big refactors with ease, and that's coming from someone who made big use of static typing, IDEs, and AST-based refactoring. It's legitimately faster than thought.

or the IDE (or text editor for that matter) well. People don't want to spend time understanding, appreciating and learning the tool they use, and call them useless...

That's funny, because I have little patience with having to spend time finding out how to coax the AI into doing what I effing want, and much prefer the reliable and deterministic IDE features.

It's funny and sad, and I'm on the same page with you. I use some tools close to two decades and can do things people can't fathom in no time, for a very long time.

I don't bend the tool, even. It's what it's designed to do.
